Emma Watson Harry Potter Interview

FilmForce is proud to present two magical video interviews with the young stars of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. At a recent press event, our very own Steve Head sat down with Rupert Grint and Emma Watson for a chat.

11-year-old Emma Watson plays the kind-hearted know-it-all Hermione Granger. Emma had only acted in school plays before she was cast in Harry Potter. In her free time, something she has much less of these days, Emma enjoys playing sports like hockey and rounders. Emma's cute and astute portrayal of Hermione has already become a favorite among fans.

Rupert Grint, who turns 13 this month, comes from a large family not unlike his on-screen kin. Grint plays Ron, the youngest son of the red-headed Weasley clan. Before Harry Potter, Rupert had acted in school plays and with a local drama group. He auditioned for the role of Ron after watching an appeal by the film's casting director on TV.
